Telangana Tourism is planning curated short-duration tourism experiences for transit passengers passing through Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), with the aim of allowing travellers with a few spare hours between connecting flights to explore heritage sites and other attractions in the city before being dropped back at the airport for their onward journey.

Speaking to The Hindu, Telangana Tourism Development Corporation managing director Kranthi Valluru said the idea is to create flexible tourism packages that cater to travellers who may have only a few hours at their disposal. “Through a tourism kiosk at the airport, the passengers will be able to choose from a range of options depending on the time available, such as visiting a single location or covering multiple destinations within Hyderabad. The packages will include transport arrangements that ensure round trips, allowing travellers to return to the airport in time for their connecting flights,” she added.
